At these points, you are going to use internet or any reference to collect data worth

investigating from the government agencies (e.g., mean age of high school students’
dropouts, mean salaries of a specific employee), Formulate the null hypothesis and the
alternative hypothesis for your data at hand. The scoring rubric will be used in
assessing your performance.

What you need:

Bond paper, printed copy or photocopy of the data collected.

What you must do:

1. Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis of the data you collected.
2. Identify whether the test to be administer in the data you have is directional or non-
directional.
3. Tell the possible type I and type II error if a mistake in decision will be made.

DATA COLLECTED:
This data is collected from a study entitled “Self-Perception of ABM Students towards
their Academic, Social, and Emotional College Preparedness”. You can read the study

a) Table 2. Level of social preparedness in pursuing ABM

Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis of the data you collected.

 In words, the hypotheses are:
H 0 : The composite mean score of ABM Students’ level of social
preparedness in pursuing the ABM track is equal to 3.24.
H 1∨H α : The composite mean score of ABM Students’ level of
academic preparedness in pursuing the ABM track is not the same as
3.24.
In symbols, the hypotheses are:
H 0 : μ=3.24
H 1∨H α : μ ≠ 3.24

Identify whether the test to be administer in the data you have is directional or
non-directional.
Since the alternative hypothesis utilizes ≠ , then we can say that the test is
non-directional and two-tailed.

Tell the possible type I and type II error if a mistake in decision will be made.

The table shows that if null hypothesis is true and accepted, or if it is false and
rejected, the decision is correct. If the null hypothesis is true and rejected, the decision
is incorrect and this is Type I error. If the null hypothesis is false and accepted, the
decision is incorrect and this is Type II error.
In this study, the researchers decided to test the students’ level of social
preparedness in pursuing ABM track and aims to get a composite mean score. There
are two errors that could potentially occur.
Type I error: The results say that the composite mean score of ABM Students’
level of social preparedness in pursuing the ABM track is equal to 3.24, but it
actually isn’t.
Type II error: The results say that the composite mean score of ABM Students’
level of social preparedness in pursuing the ABM track is not equal to 3.24, but it
actually is.
